5 Objection. It is said, 1. Cor. 3. If any mans work burn, 1he shall loose: but he shall be safe himself, nevertheless yet as it were by fire. Therefore, say they, some sins cast men into fire, that is, into some punishment, but not eternal. This also we grant, not in respect of the nature of sin, but in respect of pardon, which befalleth to those who hold the foundation, which is christ. For to build on the foundation wood & stubble, that is, to parch the word of god, with unnecessary questions, humane opinions & traditions, which often are occasions of schisms in the Church, & often of Idolatry and errors; it is not so light a sin as they deem it, who do it; but deserveth eternal malediction, except remission be made for the Son of God, as it is declared in the Revelation Chapt. 22.
